ORIGIN

This 1970 Toyota Land Cruiser was acquired by the seller 18 months ago, reportedly following a 2016 refurbishment that included a repaint in Stone Gray. Power is from a 350ci LT1 V8 mated to a 4L60E automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case from a 1987 model. Additional upgrades include a 4″ suspension lift with Bilstein shocks, a rear bumper with a swing-out tire carrier and basket, Pro Comp wheels with 35″ tires, a hydraulic steering kit, Bestop seats, and Navajo brakes as well as a custom exhaust system and roll cage. This FJ40 is offered with a bimini top and a clean California title in the seller’s name.

The truck was refinished in a combination of Stone Gray paint and tan rubberized coating with diamond-plate panels. Accessories include a 4PlusProducts rear bumper with a swing-out spare tire carrier and basket, a green bimini top, and 2″ nerf bars. The seller notes corrosion around the tailgate drain holes and grille as well as in the corners of the fenders and quarter panels.

The suspension has been raised approximately 4″ according to the seller, and features reversed shackles up front as well as Bilstein shocks all around. Black 15″ Pro Comp wheels wear 35″x12.5″ Pro Comp mud-terrain tires and are mounted on manually-locking Warn hubs up front. The seller describes installation of custom Navajo drum brakes and notes that the wheels need alignment.

The cabin floors were coated with matching rubberized tan liner. Seating is comprised of adjustable Bestop front buckets with armrests as well as a folding Bestop Trail Max rear bench.

Stock instrumentation is partially functional according to the seller, and supplemented by Equus auxiliary gauges. The temperature indicator reportedly registers at all times, including when the ignition is turned off. The five-digit odometer shows 3k miles, with total mileage unknown. The seller has added approximately 300 miles in 18 months.

The 350ci LT1 V8 sends power to the rear or all four wheels through a 4L60E automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case which is said to have been sourced from a 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser. An oil change was reportedly conducted just prior to the seller’s acquisition.

A custom dual exhaust system has been fitted along with an AGR Performance hydraulic steering kit. The seller notes corrosion on suspension and steering components. A walk-around and drive-by video can be seen below.
